Yeah

Im not even on lowered suspension and Im scraping the bottom of my front peice on my kit when I go into parking lots that dip... And Im rollin on stock suspension so im confused... The only reason Im not lowering is beause of this, but its reality right now... I need to learn how to avoid this if possible cuz this kit is fiberglass and we all know how crappy it is...

So any advice? confused.gif I dont wanna end up with a broken kit frown.gif

When you have big rims with small tires the heigh will equal out to small rims with big tires. So what he's saying is correct. I have 18'' with 35mm tires and its about equal to stock rims & tires, I forget the calculation, its somewhere on the internet.
